Characterization of acetohydroxyacid synthase from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima
Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) is the key enzyme in branched chain amino acid biosynthesis pathway. The enzyme activity and properties of a highly thermostable AHAS from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima is being reported. The catalytic and regulatory subunits of AHAS from T. maritima were over-expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant subunits were purified using a sim...
متن کاملA Novel Tryptophan Synthase -Subunit from the Hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima
Tryptophan synthase catalyzes the last two steps in the biosynthesis of the amino acid tryptophan. The enzyme is an complex in mesophilic microorganisms. The -subunit (TrpA) catalyzes the cleavage of indoleglycerol phosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and indole, which is channeled to the active site of the associated -subunit (TrpB1), where it reacts with serine to yield tryptophan. The Trp...
متن کاملPyruvate decarboxylase activity of the acetohydroxyacid synthase of Thermotoga maritima
Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) catalyzes the production of acetolactate from pyruvate. The enzyme from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima has been purified and characterized (kcat ~100 s-1). It was found that the same enzyme also had the ability to catalyze the production of acetaldehyde and CO2 from pyruvate, an activity of pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) at a rate approximatel...
متن کاملCharacterization of Dihydrodipicolinate Synthase from Pea
Dihydrodipicolinate synthase (EC 4.2.1.52), the first enzyme unique to lysine biosynthesis in bacteria and higher plants, has been purified to homogeneity from etiolated pea (Pisum sativum) seedlings using a combination of conventional and affinity chromatographic steps. This is the first report on a homogeneous preparation of native dihydrodipicolinate synthase from a plant source. The pea dih...
متن کاملPreliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of tRNA pseudouridine 55 synthase from the thermophilic eubacterium Thermotoga maritima.
Thermotoga maritima TruB, an enzyme responsible for the formation of pseudouridine in tRNA, has been purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method in 100 mM citrate pH 3.5, 200 mM Li(2)SO(4), 20% glycerol, 13% PEG 8000. Crystals display orthorhombic symmetry, with unit-cell parameters a = 47.39, b = 83.88, c = 98.72 A, and diffract to 2.0 A resolution using synchrotron r...
